Some Kind Of Wonderful - Tumblr Posts
Not Enough Younger people have watched "some kind of wonderful" and that's a problem because I feel we are the only ones that can truly appreciate how queer coded it is, watts specifically to tho and now it's taken off paramount so less and less people will watch it I mean I can only watch it on a app that has 1500 ads
But it's about a love triangle with a artist under pressure due to his dad wanting him to go to business school, he falls in love with this popular girl, but his best friend who's a drummer is in love with him so if you want to watch it I'll give you the app or you can try and find it yourself IDC I just want more of a fandom lol
She's the stain of ashes fallen on the bed spread, smeared. She's the stain of lipstick pressed to his cheeks, his lips, his chin - smeared. Stains and smears, a messy personality and a messy life. But he relishes all of it. Once upon a time he knew a woman so refined - who wore aprons in the kitchen and leather on the streets - whose hair fell in loose tumbles exactly as she styled it, who seemed perfection poured into a womanly mould. What a crock. It hadn't been an illusion, not exactly, but a mask so well fitted that he hadn't seen the truth when it stared him in the face. Perhaps the grittiest, truest part of Julia had been her admittance to women being liars - yet he'd thought her words a jest, a flirt. She'd been so immaculate, so above reproach. The purest thing in a world of blood and pain.
Fuck all that.
Give him a woman with flaws, with faults. Give him a woman unafraid to speak her mind, to stand her ground, to chase after her hopes and dreams. Give him a woman raw and rough, with jagged edges, with full range of the entire spectrum of emotion, with a vigor and a vitality that none could match.
Give him a woman who sings offkey, who swears and smokes and snores. Give him a woman who gambles with her money, her life, and her heart. Give him a woman who can kick his ass, who fires right back when fired upon. Foul-mouthed, flighty, fortune-seeking Faye. Good god, what a woman!
